I couldn’t find information on what happens after the Person on the K1 comes to the US, so hopefully you all can help. 

 

My my fiancée will arrive in early September and we are getting married a few weeks later. 

 

I have questions related to adding him to my health insurance plan, him getting a drivers license (driving in general), time for adjustment of status and if he can work his current job still (but remotely and getting paid into his international bank account). Plus other questions!

 

Questions below:

 

1) When does he get a social security number? Seems a lot hinges on this. My lawyer said he doesn’t need one for the marriage license, and that it will come with adjustment of status filing 

 

2) do I need to wait for his SSN to add him to health insurance? What options are there?

 

3) can he drive my car while we wait for everything to process and for him to get his license?

 

4) can he work his current job, and get paid from his current job into his current account?

 

5) how long does it take on average for the adjustment of status ? I understand his work permission and travel permission should come before the green card?

 

thankful for everyone’s insight

He should apply for his SS#  after he arrives.  If you wait until the 194 expires then he will have to wait until the EAD is approved.  The flow chart is pretty helpful

These questions are asked dozens of times a week.  Probably should visit the adjustment of status forum where the answers reside

YMMV

Many of these Qs are specific to where you live (driver's license rules, AOS timelines etc).  Filling out your timeline will get you more meaningful answers.

 

Definitely try to get that SSN before your wedding though.  It will make a world of difference in the first six months here.

4) can he work his current job, and get paid from his current job into his current account?

Yes, once he has his EAD, which seems to be taking 6 months or so currently.

~~Moved to AOS Family K1/K3, from K1 P&P - as many of the OP's questions are for AOS. Please wander over to the Moving Here and YOur New Life - for answers about driving and health insurance.~~

There's not a lot where you should be required to have a social security number as a new immigrant. However, explaining this to insurance companies, banks, and government agencies can be a pain, so it's a lot easier to get one if you can.
